用料

做法

  1. 整块五花肉冷水下锅,加姜片料酒焯水5分钟去血沫,捞出洗净。
  2. 肉切4厘米见方大块,可用棉线十字捆扎防散,肉皮朝下备用。
  3. 砂锅底铺葱结、姜片(或竹篾),码入肉块皮朝下,加黄酒、生抽、老抽、冰糖及香料。
  4. 液体以酒为主、少量水补至将将没过肉,大火烧开撇沫,转最小火加盖慢炖1.5至2小时。
  5. 炖至八成熟将肉翻面皮朝上,开盖中火收汁10分钟至酱汁浓稠裹肉。
  6. 皮朝上装入小碗淋原汁,上笼隔水蒸30分钟逼出多余油脂,连汁扣盘,围焯熟青菜心。
小贴士
  • 以酒代水是东坡肉灵魂,黄酒香气渗透肌理,肥而不腻全靠长时间小火与最后蒸制去油。
  • 苏轼《猪肉颂》讲究慢著火、少著水、火候足时它自美;传统多用黄酒代水,家庭可加少量清水,水量宁少勿多。
  • 捆十字线防炖散,糖色可加可不加,红亮来自酱油与冰糖久熬。
东坡肉得名于北宋文豪苏轼,其《猪肉颂》留下慢火少水多酒的烧肉心得,后随他在杭州疏浚西湖的政绩传入浙地,2018年列入浙江省非物质文化遗产。

Dongpo Pork

Slow-fired, wine-rich, a ruby square of pork that melts in the mouth

150 minutes (including braising and steaming) · 2 to 3 servings · Medium · Savory-sweet

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Blanch the whole belly in cold water with ginger and wine for 5 minutes, skim and rinse.
  2. Cut into 4cm cubes, tie a cross with string so they hold shape, skin side down.
  3. Line a clay pot with scallion knots and ginger (or a bamboo mat), place the cubes skin down, add wine, soy sauces, rock sugar and spices.
  4. Add just enough liquid (mostly wine, a little water) to cover, bring to a boil, skim, then simmer covered on the lowest heat for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. When nearly done turn the cubes skin up, uncover and reduce the sauce on medium heat for 10 minutes until glossy.
  6. Steam the cubes skin up in a bowl with the sauce for 30 minutes to render excess fat, then invert onto a plate with blanched greens.
Tips
  • Wine in place of water is the soul of the dish; the long gentle simmer plus final steaming is what makes it rich yet not greasy.
  • Su Shi wrote slow fire, little water, enough time and it is perfect; traditionally wine stands in for water, but home cooks may add a little water, keeping it minimal.
  • Tie the string to stop the cubes falling apart; the red sheen comes from soy and long-reduced rock sugar rather than caramel.
Named after the Song poet Su Shi, whose poem on pork gave the rule of slow fire and little water; the dish traveled to Zhejiang during his governorship in Hangzhou and was listed as Zhejiang intangible heritage in 2018.
